For generations, the Skylanders -- a diverse group of mythical creatures, each with their own powers, personality and tendencies -- have used their magical powers, weapons and levelable battle skills to protect their homeland, the Skylands. But now, an evil tyrant with the powers of a portal master has frozen and banished them to Earth. Only you, a portal master yourself, can physically put Skylanders on the Portal of Power -- a conduit between this world and theirs -- and bring them back to life in their world where they can battle to save Skylands forever.

Action Figures with Brains

Skylanders are special physical action figures that come to life in-game. Just take a Skylander, place it on the included Portal of Power, which is synched to your game console and a representation of your chosen Skylander will come to life in the video game and do your bidding. There are over 30 Skylanders in total - each with unique abilities and powers (three are included in your starter pack). Skylander action figures remember their in-game experiences and upgrades as they explore the mysterious world of Skylands, battle menacing creatures and collect treasures. Conveniently, it doesn't matter what gaming system your friends have at their house, the Skylanders work on and across all major video game systems. That means that you can take your Skylanders over to your friend's house, drop them on their Portal of Power and your Skylanders will come to life in the game.

I really enjoyed my time with the console version of the game...The handheld version, not so much. The game is somewhat glitchy and I'm not a huge fan of how you're supposed to get a Skylander figure into the in-game world. That being said, it's still a passable experience...Albeit a short one.

It's a passable game, but my version was fairly buggy...Actually had to close the game twice because of getting caught in an endless bug loop from switching Skylanders at an apparent bad time. Aside from that, the 3DS version of Skylanders is much shorter, there's much less to do, the interesting mechanic of changing Skylanders on the fly is gone (you have to change them between levels in a very"
